Supreme Court judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan has strongly defended the right to vote, saying that any process that disenfranchises millions of Indian citizens is 'intrinsically arbitrary' and a 'negation of the constitutional order'. Speaking at NALSAR University of Law, he stressed that no authority is above the Constitution and that the right to vote is inseparable from citizenship and democracy. #supremecourtofindia #votingrights #constitutionofindia Thank you for watching our video!
